Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Jesus, with thy Church abide 
Jesus, with thy Church abide, be her Savior, Lord, and Guide, while on earth her faith is tried: we beseech thee, hear us. 
Keep her life and doctrine pure, help her, patient, to endure, trusting in thy promise sure: we beseech thee, hear us. 
All her fettered powers release bid our strife and envy cease, grant the heavenly gift of peace: we beseech thee, hear us. 
May she one in doctrine be, one in truth and charity, winning all to faith in thee: we beseech thee, hear us. 
May she guide the poor and blind, seek the lost until she find, and the broken hearted bind: we beseech thee, hear us. 
May her priests thy people feed, shepherds of the flock indeed, ready, where thou call'st, to lead: we beseech thee, hear us. 
Judge her not for work undone, judge her not for fields unwon, bless her works in thee begun: we beseech thee, hear us. 
All that she has lost, restore, may her strength and zeal be more than in brightest days of yore: we beseech thee, hear us. 
Raise her to her calling high, let the nations far and nigh hear thy heralds' warning cry: we beseech thee, hear us. 
May she holy triumphs win, pverthrow the hosts of sin, gather all the nations in, we beseech thee, hear us.
